UnderAlbertEinstein’stheoryofgeneralrelativity(广义相对论),whichdescribesthebehaviourofgravityandspace-time,mostwormholeswouldeitherclosewheneversomethingfallsinorbeextremelysmallandfallawayimmediately.

译文:阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的广义相对论阐述的是地球引力与时空的作用,根据这一理论,大多数虫洞要么在有东西落入时关闭,要么变得极其微小并立刻消失。

分析:这是一个主从复合句。Under...是介词短语作状语,which引导的非限制性定语从句解释说明先行词AlbertEinstein’stheoryofgeneralrelativity。主句主语是mostwormholes,谓语动词是wouldeitherclose...orbe...。whenever引导时间状语从句。;探究思辨
